"Say: 'Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger: but if ye turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you. If ye obey him, ye shall be on right guidance. The Messenger's duty is only to preach the clear (Message). (The Noble Quran, 24:54)"
"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy handhold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. (The Noble Quran, 2:256)"
The most important factor to the religious Islam is to believe that there is no god but God(Allah) and Mohammad (peace be with him) is God's final messenger.
Allah translated to English would mean Thee One God.
Islam gives it's follower the complete freedom of thoughts and conquest for knowledge and betterment's to the community and oneself through righteous actions. It addresses specific and major issues in a striving community as well ensures that the poor, elderly and needy are to be taken care of as well establishing a community bank, hospitals, universities and a required donation of 2% of anyone earnings where all people will pay the same amount with no acceptations, as well encourages donations on an everyday basis.
Islam's politics for a society where the leaders served the masses, the money was only a tool to expand a strong, solid community. Knowledge and Education are very important elements were crucial to their everyday life. The quest to figure out how any one can tell the time for prayer by making clocks to tell time as well the very difficult task of establishing GLOBAL POSITIONING, this way anyone can know the direction to Mecca, and impressive enough established both and they simply took off in many other fields of knowledge and great civilizations which none surpass the wonders done in Spain and Alhambra. All these civilizations began with this one man, Mohammad(pbuh)
Mohammad(pbuh) passed away with zero in money and his house was very simple and basic. It's said his bed was made from dried tree leaves, yet he changed his community to seekers of betterments and knowledge.
Taking care of the needy was done on hourly basis by Mohammad(pbuh). He received great deals of gold and money, only to donate it all away and even fasted for days because he donated so much.
Giving is better then receiving according to Islam and the rewards of giving to others here is receiving a far greater compensation that is greater then the entire earth.(Heaven)
Evil and bad actions will only lead to a compensation which no one wishes it on themselves if they knew.(hell)
So Islam pretty much says give give give and pray to God at all moments, have God with you with every action to every word. Always strive to be among the righteous and good doers. Allah rewards far exceed everything on this earth.
Freedom of choice(to belief) according to the Quran
"If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then COMPEL mankind, against their will, to believe! (The Noble Quran, 10:99)"
There is no such thing as forced conversion in Islam. The Quran forbids it
Islamophobia world wide
Beware of all the Islamophobia that is going on across the U.S.A and many other nations across the world. Islam is not a hate based faith, rather a faith that truly encourages love and righteousness.
Islam has been targeted by many and the finger pointing associating radicals with Islam (the faith). It seems as the terror acts done by almost everybody else to being unrelated to their religious believes, but when a Muslim commits such an act then Islam (the faith) is guilty, therefor making all Muslims guilty.
The media among many sources have played a major role in spreading miss-info about Islam. Turning people's attention to something irrelevant (Islam) to being a world threat and ignore major issues like the illegal war against Iraq, the continual occupation of Afghanistan, the collapsing economies, The collapsing education systems, collapsing insurances, fraudulent banking, and much more.
What Islamophobia does is it continues to generalize all Muslims to being somewhat supportive of terrorism or are all terrorist because Islam itself supports terrorism and many spread lies that attempt to justify their claims with Quranic text taken out of context, which are a few and completely ignore the overwhelming text that teach to be peaceful and be moderate.
One of the typical miss-info we find about Islam is that Muslims are supposed to kill all the unbelievers. Which is very far from the truth. Many push That Islam is an ideology that encourages violence and aggression.
"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things). (The Noble Quran, 8:61)"
"If thou dost stretch thy hand against me, to slay me, it is not for me to stretch my hand against thee to slay thee: for I do fear God, the cherisher of the worlds. (The Noble Quran, 5:28)"
What does the Quran command Muslims to do to the unbeliever
"Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to God's will) in Islam. Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them). (The Noble Quran, 15:2-3)"
There you have it
The Quran does not say "kill all those who don't believe in Islam". The Quran commands to LEAVE THEM ALONE. Disbelievers have the free choice to do so and the Quran confirms of this human right. All people are given the freedom of choice as well force is forbidden on any one to accept belief.
"Say, 'The truth is from your Lord': Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it):......(The Noble Quran, 18:29)"
"God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers. (The Noble Quran, 60:8)"
The Quran command that Muslims show kindness to people who are not fighting them or kicking them out of their home and that GOD loves just dealers.
"And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for God. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers. (The Noble Quran 2:193)"
"But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things). (The Noble Quran, 8:61)"
Those who fight the Muslims, the Muslims have a right to fight back until Muslims are victories, but if the enemies stop the fighting then there should be no hostility except against the wrong doers. The innocent are protected.
Muslims are supposed to incline towards peace when peace is offered as well.
It's clear that Islam is a faith that encourages a moderate society that gives people the freedom of choice, a right given by God. That Muslims are not after the none believers and are not on a war against the unbelievers. Islam encourages peace and harmony, productivity and betterment.
It's very important to remember these facts and more important to pass the truth to others.. There are evil forces out there trying to intentionally turn people against each other, but the will of God is stronger then their efforts.
Peace be with you and May you strive in the righteous path from this life to the after.
